Amortization
Amortization is provided at rates calculated to write off the valuation of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
| Intangible Asset | Amortization method | Useful economic life |
|---|---|---|
| Customer databases | Diminishing balance method | 2-5 years |
| Brands | Straight-line method | Assessed separately for each asset, with lives ranging up to 20 years |
| Marketing and data analytics know-how | Straight-line method | 4-5 years |
| Licenses* and intellectual property | Straight-line method | 1-10 years |
| Exclusive license rights | Straight-line method | 3 years |
| Acquired technology | Straight-line method | 2-10 years |
| Internally-generated software development costs | Straight-line method | 2-5 years |
- Excluding a cryptocurrency license that is not amortized, due to it having an indefinite useful life.
The estimated useful lives and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
| 2 | Accounting policies (continued) |
| 2.7 | Research and development costs |
Research and development costs that are not eligible for capitalization have been expensed in the year incurred totaling $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: $11.3 million) (2023: $17.2 million). These expenses are included in the ‘Direct and Marketing expenses’ line item within the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
| 2.8 | Property plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
| Property plant and equipment | Depreciation method | Useful economic life |
|---|---|---|
| Buildings | Straight-line | 40 years |
| Leasehold property improvements | Straight-line | Over the life of the lease or the useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter |
| Furniture and fittings | Straight-line | 3-6 years |
| Office equipment | Straight-line | 3-10 years |
| Computer hardware and software | Straight-line | 2-5 years |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the net carrying amount of the asset and is recorded as income or expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
| 2.9 | Investment properties |
Investment properties, principally office buildings, are held for long-term rental yields and are not occupied by the Group. They are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The useful life of the investment properties is 40 years, and aligns with the useful lives of the buildings occupied by the Group. Depreciation on investment properties is recognized on a straight-line basis.
| 2.10 | Impairment of non-financial assets |
Impairment tests on goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken at least annually in November. The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that other non-financial assets or cash generating units ("CGUs") may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset or CGU is required, the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the smallest group of assets to which it belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash flows; its cash generating units. Goodwill is allocated on initial recognition to each of the Group’s CGUs that are expected to benefit from a business combination that gives rise to the goodwill.
When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The current year assessment includes an impairment loss relating to the Digital Gaming Corporation Limited ("DGC") CGU of $63.9 million (2024: $39.6 million) (2023: $37.6 million). Additional disclosures are provided in note 10.
For assets other than goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount.

| 2 | Accounting policies (continued) |
| 2.10 | Impairment of non-financial assets (continued) |
A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the circumstances or assumption initially used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
